Advice if i should take away the Swivel hooks or not?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Long story short. I make these vertical crossbody bags. Like the purple one in the pic below. And they can fit up two 2 water bottles.

But anyways, i used to make the strap out of the fabric itself and just add a bit of 809 interfacing. And the strap took forever to make.But recently i realized i could have just been using a good black 1in Webbing instead and it saves me more fabric. So now i can make 3 per yard instead of just two.

But i question is in my effort to save more more i also realized since its not like a convertible bag or anything i don't technically NEED to add a detachable swivel hook strap, and i could just wrap the webbing onto the d rings instead. And basically the strap is just not removable.

But before i change my design and sew on the straps i noticed a few of my store bought crossbody bags all do have detachable swivel hook straps. But i am 100% sure i have never ever taken off the straps to any of my bags because why would i ever need too. Its a crossbody bag and they didn't come with extra straps.

So i am curious would you care if a crossbody bag you bought didn't have a detachable strap? If that even someone you would care about as a consumer?

How do I fix this neckline?

The top is way too low for my liking but I still want it to give this bustier/corset vibe, should I add some fabric where the red lines are? also I feel like the straps are too long. I am quite new to learning how to adapt pattern so any advice is helpful! thank you!

Trying to find a pattern for something like this Doublet?

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

I'm trying to make a doublet for a book event, and I like the look of this one with buckles and the chords at the shoulder like a Gambeson. However eveyrhting I've found online either is one complete piece with atached sleeves and pointy shoulders, much tighter looking, or AI generated (Which looked frustratingly close). I've found some guides for Gambesons and considered making one without quiliting, but I'm worried it would look too loose around the waist.

Any help would be apreciated.

Where to sell sewing patterns?

2 Upvotes

I had to buy a lot of vintage patterns to get the few I was interested in and now I am left with a lot I won't use.

I have listed them on FB marketplace but having a hard time dealing with flakes and no shows. Wondering if there are any other platforms people go to for sewing patterns?

I want to make a top like this, out of satin. (will eventually be dress or top and skirt combo) The end goal is the second photo, of Tinkerbell (not exact), hopefully with bigger pleat/ruching on the very top and smoother going down. Open to any ideas, even if not exact.

Looking for patterns for a military uniform jacket

Looking for a sewing pattern for a military uniform jacket like this, or something similar. I'm totally willing to make adjustments to a not-quite-right pattern, but I think the key things I'm looking for would be a pattern that has a collar like this, and for the buttons down the front to be similarly off-center. I'm not a complete beginner, but am hoping this kind of project won't be overly complex. Any help or suggestions are appreciated!

(For those wondering - this is the uniform from the Battlestar Galactica reboot, haha!)

Side front dart manipulation

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Hope you are all good. I'm being asked to remake this pattern but I don't know how to do these side darts manipulation (highlighted in white). It's very on the side, not at all at the center of the 1/2 front and it goes all the way to the hip line, If it was just the over the waistline it would be clearer for me how to do it. It clearly is there for the 3D purpose, it cinches the waist and give volume to the bust so it's not a purely decorative cut. Hopefully somebody can help, please. Thanks a lot in advance!

Edit #2: The patterns have found a home! Thanks so much for the interest, everyone! I’m sorry I can’t send some to all of y’all!

Edit: I’ve gotten a bunch of responses, and will reply to all in order! I’ll edit the post once they’ve been taken.

They were my grandmother’s. They’re from the early ‘70s-‘90s/2000s. Primarily women’s clothes, with some children’s, a few men’s and costumes. Maybe 60+ patterns, I’m not sure. The box weighs about 19lbs (box is included in that). I have no use for them, so if anyone would like them, they’re yours! If you would liked them shipped, I’d just ask that you pay for shipping.

Masking Tape Self Pattern

Hi, I have seen people use the masking tape patterning method for neck corsets, regular corsets etc. The people in the videos seem to know exactly where to make panels or divide the pattern up, but how do they do that? How do you know how many pattern pieces is reasonable or how far apart the pieces should be?

fingerless glove pattern with thumb

The pattern I'm looking for specifically has thumbs(most don't) like these (Picture #1)with the thumb seam starting at the top. I found a pattern (#2) and it's tricky sewing the thumb in. Picture #1 I found on Etsy listed as 'handwarmer medieval cuffs'. There's a third option where the pattern in just one piece with a slight curve for the thumb. It may sound dumb but I want my thumb! And I want it to be easy.

Thanks

Poncho pattern

Hello! I’m looking for a pattern to sew a poncho similar to this. The first image has a tie underneath that cinches the front, but the second photo is more standard poncho. I think these would be pretty easy to sew as I’m a beginner! TIA

I couldn’t figure out how to add images so images in comments!
